In the wake of President Donald Trump's electoral triumph, a notable segment of the American populace is reportedly grappling with significant health challenges.
Dr. Glenn Burnett, an internist based in Wyoming, has observed a surge in patients experiencing mental health issues since the November election. He advises those affected to disconnect from digital media to aid in their recovery.
"We are dealing with depression, anxiety, all kinds of medical problems that are related to that, like insomnia, chest pain, chest pressure," Burnett explained to Halprin. "And then people are that there's some genuine fear, panic." According to Breitbart, Burnett attributes these symptoms to the apprehensions surrounding Trump's presidency and its implications for the nation. He noted that while similar reactions were observed during President Biden's tenure, the intensity has markedly increased post-election.
In a broader context, Halprin has forewarned of a potential mental health crisis following the 2024 election outcome. Speaking with Tucker Carlson, he speculated that the aftermath could be "the greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country," affecting millions. "I think tens of millions of people will question their connection to the nation, their connection to other human beings, their connection to their vision of what their future for them and their children could be like," he stated. Halprin anticipates a surge in demand for mental health services, predicting workplace trauma, increased alcoholism, and familial discord.
Burnett's approach to addressing these issues emphasizes the importance of personal relationships over political concerns. "The first thing I tell them to do is to turn their computers off and turn their televisions off," he advised. He further recommends prioritizing familial reconciliation, stating, "The next thing I tell them to do is, if you have had an issue with your family and a lot of them have that, that is so much more important than Kamala Harris or Donald Trump, and you need to begin to make amends."
Despite the prevalence of these symptoms, Burnett is cautious about prescribing medication, viewing the situation primarily as a "grief problem."
